Thanks for trying out this Alpha version of LST/2.  Please mail any bug
reports to rwagner@ais.umn.edu.

Feature list:
  --Built in directory lister.
    * Displays last access and created dates on HPFS drives
    * Display anywhere from 1 to 9 directory columns on screen 
    * Automatically view files on righthand 3/4 of screen.
  --File viewer
    * Supports redirection.
    * Save the redirected text to a file.
    * Search forwards and backwards within file.
    * Search for hex strings.
    * Search for regular expressions.
    * View PC or Unix style text.
    * 3 viewing modes - Text, Hex, and Dump (like XTree).


Caveats:
  * During redirection the entire file is loaded before displaying.
  * Help is pretty basic right now.
  * The first time LST is run it creates a LST.CFG file in the same
    directory as where it runs from.  Please note that the LST.CFG for
    DOS and OS/2 are identical and can be interchanged.

--Notes on OS/2 version:
  * Installation:  Copy all the DLL files to any directory in your LIBPATH.
                   Copy the EXE to any directory in you PATH.
  * Extended Attribute support isn't implemented yet.  Always reports size of 4.
  * Currently running with a debug memory manager.  This consumes much more 
    memory then normal.  If this is a problem, disable the memory debugging
    routines by copying alloc.dll over dbgalloc.dll.

--Notes on DOS version:
  * Rename LSTDOS.EXE to LST.EXE and copy it to somewhere in your path.
  * Redirection isn't working yet.
  * Needs dos4gw.exe.  Not included since this is primarily an OS/2 program.

Some of the features coming (not necessarily in this order):
  * Full Extended Attribute support
  * Multiple file masks
  * Manipulation of files (copy, delete, rename, move, etc)
  * Tagging of files
  * Complete Netware 4.x support (probably OS/2 only)

Alpha Change History:

NOTE: 	These initial alphas are designed to test the file lister part mostly.
	While any bug or feature reports for anthing are greatly appreciated,
	this is the reason directory manipulation features aren't being added
	yet.  

Special thanks to Dave Gentzel for ideas and testing.

Alpha 4/15/95 (0.03)
* Reworked search code to fix a couple of bugs.
* Fixed bug in history when max items are entered.
* Fixed inconsistencies within the file lister help screen.
* Finally cleaned up the version info.
* Removed PMW from DOS version.  Too damn buggy. Uses dos4gw as the DOS 
  extender instead.  This is available from the usual FTP sites if you don't
  already have it.

Alpha 3/28/95
Sorry for the long delay between versions, I've been a busy camper these last
3 weeks.
* Finally fixed the stupid regular expression bug that been around forever.
* Added Rename file and dir.
* Saves parameters for the file lister.
* Added alloc.dll to distribution.  If you're experiencing problems with LST
  using great amounts of memory, copy alloc.dll over dbgalloc.dll.  This will
  disable the memory debugging routines that are consuming lots of memory.

Alpha 3/1/95
* Fixed bugs in searching and setting number of columns in directory viewer.
* Added Delete file and dir.

Alpha 2/27/95
* DOS version included again.
* Added a configuration file (LST.CFG).
* Color configuration screen.
* Cleaned up exiting.

Alpha 2/22/95
* Stomped a couple of nifty new bugs that were introduced with the rewrite
	of the screenio stuff.
* Regular expressions are in.  No reverse regular expressions yet.
* Several internal clean ups including command keys and help screens.
* Fixed problem with Watcom and multiple instances of the DLLs.

Alpha 2/7/95:
* Added Mark and Write to file.
* History, search, parameters all are saved across files now.  (while searching
	a file, hit ESC, select another file, and hit F3 to continue same search).
* Documented 2nd HEX Display mode (DUMP = 'D' as well as HEX = 'H')
* Changed key assignments some.
* Reports full text errors on disk errors now.

Alpha 2/4/95: (0.01)
* Fixed FileSpec bug.  Displayed it bad.
* Added Abort while searching.
* Added [] around editable text and puts an up arrow when you can scroll
  up into the text history.  Nobody ever knew there was a history buffer. :)
* Fixed bug in reverse search.  It was starting the reverse search from a few
  characters too many. Duh.
* No longer immediately clears the search text when no matches are found right
  away.
* Completely rewrote writing file to screen in text mode.  Searches will now
  display when they cross multiple lines.  For sure introduced some nifty
  new bugs here.  Searches display correctly when searching for hex when in
  text mode.
